highlandcowden Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 depends on the programme-some,like cowdens,brechins or clyde are well worth buying with plenty of interesting articles. some are just lazy and I wouldn't wipe my backside on them let alone pay a few quid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Buy them as an away fan or neutral to get a flavour of the club and what's going on - especially in the non-leagues where there's little press coverage and not as much online. Also collect some old programmes. Used to buy them every home game but stopped after a while at £2, as I was getting through it in no time and didn't feel it represented value sadly. Think it's up to £2.50 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drives the missus mad and especially with having so many Liverpool and other Premier League ones that are like books I have boxfuls. Funnily enough at Whitehill our sales have never been better with some decent front covers and original content. But have you got as many as this guy? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/43981612 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of fans buy programmes more for a souveneir as for a read.if its worth a read fair enough but most programmes aren't with a few honourable exceptions so if it isn't(I don't know,never read a livvy one) is it worth the effort? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always like a wee read of it myself but that's probably different for away fans. Can't imagine any Aberdeen fans caring what who Scott Robinson's favourite strictly dancer is. I can't say I've ever bought a programme at an away game unless its a cup final or special occasion but I'd imagine most teams are similar in that they cater more for the home fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Still buy a programme out of habit as its a decent 5-10 minute time killer & cheap enough. Sadly tossed out my old programmes a few years back & now regret it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
